    What more fitting film for a night of trickery and boundary breaking then Now You See Me 2? Well, there’s probably a ton of better answers but they’re not what i watched tonight.

    I found this out because @kendrawrites.com reposted a "what movie do you like more than everyone else" thing and I was like "obviously Now You See Me 2" b/c yes I even like the goofy sequel, but then I googled and THERE WAS FABULOUSLY BITCHY ROSAMUND PIKE, I THINK SHE'S A CRIME LORD????

    On a related note, it's a major failure for the follow-up to Now You See Me to be Now You See Me 2. The third film is Now You See Me: Now You Don't, but the sequel should have been simply Now You Don't. This is the same problem in Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. This is proper cinema discourse

    The whole reason this movie is made is because, when they made Now You See Me 2”, everyone online was like “They should have called it Now You See Me, Now You Don’t” and they realized the people online were correct. So then they made a 3rd movie so they could use the title

    It was the funniest possible thing that the sequel to Now You See Me (the magic-heist movie) was Now You See Me 2. So, it is very upsetting to me in several ways that the third movie is called Now You See Me: Now You Don't, not least of all that Now You 3 Me is right there.

    The 'non-magic' things that the crew does in Now You See Me 2 are more preposterously unbelievable than pretty much any magic Gandalf does in any LOTR movie.

    I can't believe they called the second one Now You See Me 2 and then the third one is finally called the obvious sequel title I hope this acknowledges the end of the first movie where they get recruited into a secret society of real wizards by Morgan Freeman

    Now You See Me 2: The Four Horsemen (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Lizzy Caplan) a year after the first film, are wanted fugitives as they're forced out of hiding and recruited by tech wiz Walter Mabry (Daniel Radcliffe), to expose a corrupt tech CEO who can control all computers.

    Film #6 for 2026 is Now You See Me 2 (2016). The plot makes almost no sense, but it retains the showmanship of the original and Lizzy Caplan is a strong addition to an already excellent cast. Enjoyably brainless.

    A conspiracy theory that I wholeheartedly believe is that the film "Now You See Me" was not commercially successful enough to justify two sequels, and the latest film was solely made because "Now You See Me 2" should have been called "Now You Don't," and they're now rectifying that.

    Now You See Me fans (or "horsemanheads" as we call each other) will be especially excited to see that the film is titled Now You See Me: Now You Don't, after the director lost his fight with the studio to give that name - OBVIOUSLY the only acceptable name - to Now You See Me 2

    There are many things you can get peeved at the film franchise "Now You See Me" for, but my favorite one is that when the first movie was a massive hit and there came time to announce a sequel, they sailed right past the effortlessly clever title of "Now You Don't" in favor of "Now You See Me 2"

    While he was horrible in the first two Potter movies, he has come to do some really cool stuff and much better acting. Guns Akimbo, Swiss Army Man and while not a great movie, he plays a bad guy well in Now You See Me 2. There are more as well and he seems to be just a decent human being.l as well.

    Now You See Me 2 is the sequel that focuses on making the moments cooler, while doing a rehash of the first movie. It takes the "do the same thing" route, and it doesn't really work. Outside of the magic scenes, and its action set pieces... (1/2)
